My middle age yoga routine
I’m always being asked what my yoga routine is and, to be honest, I have a few to choose from as it depends on how I’m feeling each day and how much gyp my health conditions are giving me (read more on how yoga helps me with my disabilities).
I use YouTube to find and organise yoga routines as I can use it to practice anywhere using the YouTube app; on the TV, on my mobile phone, etc. I’ve organised my favourite yoga routines into playlists, which I’ve laid out below. You’ll note that I really like Sanela Osmanovic for full-body flows and workouts, and Sarah Beth for more relaxing routines. For me, it’s all about the instructors’ voice and how much I can relate to what they’re saying.
I hope you find my playlists as useful as I do – let me know in the comments section at the bottom of this post!

Facetheory muslin cloths
I have around 15 of these cloths and have bought extras for my teens as they love them too. We use them to wash our face in the mornings and evenings, and also to take make-up cleanser off (we use cleansing balms).
Absolute Collagen
Absolute Collagen was not a brand I’d come across before 2020 but with some users of the brand reporting visible improvements to their skin and hair/scalp condition, I wanted to see what it could do for me.
Body Shop British Rose Face Mask
The marketing spiel about this face mask promises to quench your skin and give a youthful, dewy glow after use. I’ve mainly used this when having a bath so the results may have been skewed with my plumped pink face from the heat.
